...anyway tried to put up a pic of Crowley's stats in the last game he played for us - 30 touches, 7 marks, 7 goals straight. Fair enough it was round 23 2010 but he can be a consistant match winner at WAFL level if given the right role imo. I would spend 10pts for sure, he's good for at least 2 years which is what you get from a lot of interstate recruits state level & plenty of them are flops.

So do you think Subi should try get him back and would you be happy with that? I see your point in regards to interstate recruits, but most of ours have been very good in recent years. Crowley might enjoy being off the Ross Lyon leash and play with some attacking flair, but would his heart be fully into it I wonder after being dumped from AFL level and unlikely to get another gig there?

For sure I'd like him at Subi. Maybe he would want to prove he's still got it & if he's getting paid well then you would think he would give it a fair crack.

I have a feeling that another AFL club may pick him up. Wouldn't it be interesting if West Coast gave him a 12 month contract although he probably would struggle to get into their team now.

Wouldnt of thought Ryan was the perfect fit at Swans.But any publicity to Swans and the WAFL is good and Mr Crowley is a regular in the media circles.If Ryan can bring another 500 fans through the gates each game what a great posotive that would be.

I doubt very much Crowley will pull any extras through our gates mate, he is no superstar lets get it straight, he is a good honest footballer, but people wouldn't go just for him

From the outside looking in.Crowley looks to be a good fit at a side like Perth.He gives 100% when ever hes on the field.But as you say hes no superstar.

Not sure where this Crowley rumour came from. Surely he would go back to Subiaco if he didn't get drafted by an AFL club?

Subi cant have any money left in there salary cap Mike $$$$$.They have plenty of money but cant spend any more.

Crowley a no go for the DEES.
Contrary to your belief wouldn't fit our planning I wouldn't have thought.
As explained previously.
Besides he is over age and over rated.
